IMPROVEMENT IN GHURNS.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Be it known that I, M. V. B. 'ROWLEY, of Worcester, in the county of Otsego, and State oflNew York, have invented a. new and useful Improvementin Ghurning Machine; and I dolhercby declare that the following,

is a full, clear, and exact description tlIBIGOf WlIlGli will enable others skilled in the art t o ma ke and use t-h same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

The figure is a side view of my improved machine.

My invention has for its, object to furnish an improved machine, by means of which at churn may be operr atcd at any desired speed, steadily and regularly, bringing the butter in a very short time; and itconsists in j; the combination of the adjustable pendulum, working-beam, pitman, and crank-wheel withjeach other, as here- I inafter more fully described, so that it will be imposs ble for the crank-wheel to become set upon its dead-points.

A is a framework secured to the floor or platform uponwhich the churn stands. 1 B is a. wheel, in a cap attached to which is coiled a strong steel spring, in the manner of a clock-spring, one end of said spr ing bcing attached to the said cap, and the other to the shaft of the wheel B. The shaftvof the wheel B isheld station- 1 ary, while the spring uncoils itself by the ratchet-wheel C and pawl Di The teeth of thetwheel B meshintothe teeth of the pinion-wheel E attached to the shaft of thelwheel F. The teeth of the wheel F; mesh into the teeth of the pinion-wheel 0 attached to the shaft of the wheel H. The teeth of the wheel H mesh into the teeth of the pinion-wheel I attached to the shaft of the crank-wheel J. K is a pitmau, the lower end ofwhichfl is pivoted to the crank-pin of the wheel J, and its upper end is pivoted to the rear end of the workingbeam L,

which is pivoted to the upper end of the post M, and to the forward end of which is pivoted the upper end of the dasher-handle N. To the working-beam L, just below its pivotal point, is attached the upper, end ofthe 3 pendulum-rod 0, upon which the pendulum-bull P is adjustably secured by a, set-screw, so that it may he raised or lowered, as desired. The pendulum and crank-pin are so arranged that thependuluiu-ballj shall be at the highest point at the same time that the crank is on its dead-points, so that it will be impossible for the said,

crank-wheel ever to become set upon its dead-points.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. The working-beam L, securely attached to the pendulumrod 0, whereby the pitman K is carried past its centre, as herein set forth, for the purpose specified.

2. The combination of the working-lever L, pendulum and rod 0 P, pitmun K, and creuk-wheel J, substantially as described, for the purpose specified. I

The above specification of my invention signed by me this 9th day of April, 1867., p
